Note the Amber's prmtop format does not allow more than 4 characters
for atom names, and lots of Amber code has the same restriction. Plus,
at *some* point, most users are going to want to have a pdb file (for
visualization, transfer to other people, etc.) I think the complications
of allowing 5-character atom names is way more hassle than it is worth,
and we just have to say "4 characters is the limit".
